My Project

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, but you will also ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

Help me provide magnifying glasses and beakers to my science class.

Students will benefit from using these resources because it will provide them with hands-on experience to practice the skills and support needed to guide them through discovery learning.

Research shows that students learn by doing and that manipulative will provide the cushion needed for them to enjoy learning science concepts in a group setting.
